House Rules

  • Wounds
    • Wound Threshold (WT) = CON Mod + 1HD (i.e. HD of d4 = CON Mod + 4)
      • For each multiple of wound threshold (WM) received in a single strike (i.e. with a WT of 5, 7 HP of damage results in two Wound Points (WP)) you must make a Fort Save, DC 14 + WP, or take a wound on a part of your body determined by a % roll as follows:
        • 1-9: Head
        • 10-55: Chest
        • 56-85: Legs
        • 86-99: Arms
        • 100 (0/00) negates
      • All natural healing occurs at ½ WT
    • Wound Effects
      • Head: 1 INT/WIS damage per WP
      • Torso: 1 STR/CON damage per WP
      • Arms: 1 STR/DEX damage per WP
      • Legs: -5' movement, 1 STR/DEX damage per WP
        • Arm/Leg wound STR/DEX damage is ignored in the case of exclusive use of uninjured limb.
      • Compound WM effects
        • 2nd WM: -2 to all d20 rolls until WP is reduced below 2nd WM; stacks with WP penalties.
        • 3rd WM: Above, plus staggered or dazed in the case of a head wound for total WP rounds, or until WP is reduced below 3rd WM.
        • 4th WM:
          • Head/Chest wound: Fort save DC 16+(WP above 4th WM) vs. death. Save = unconscious for total WP rounds
          • Arm/Leg wound: Lose use of limb, plus Fort save, same DC as Head/Chest wound, vs. unconsciousness for WP above 4th WM rounds. Use of limb and consciousness would be restored once the wound is healed below 4th WM.
          • Increase standard Save DC’s vs. Death for negative HP totals by WP above 4th WM
    • Healing
      • Any and all magical healing applies to WP before HP
      • Natural healing occurs simultaneously for WP and HP at ½ WT
      • All successful heal checks add healer’s Int Mod to HP or WP recovery (min 1).
      • Wound healing checks must be made separate from normal healing checks. Wound healing DC is 15 + WP.
        • Increase WP by 1 per multiple of 5 the check is failed by
      • Fort Save DC 12 + WP must be made daily vs. 1 WP Temp Mod permanence (“Scarring”) until 0 WP’s remain. WP’s heal regardless of the result.
      • Scars can only be removed with Minor Restoration (2nd level cleric spell) or similar spell or effect.
    • Feats
      • What Doesn't Kill You
        • Increase WT by .5 with every wound received. The increase takes effect when resting after receiving a wound.
      • Toughness
        • Increases WT by .5 for the first three levels after taking the feat, .5 every third level thereafter.
      • Surgeon
        • +4 to wound healing checks to a selected wound area: Arms/Legs, Head or Torso. This feat cannot be taken more than once per area.
        • Prerequisites: Receive surgical training or successfully heal 2 wounds in the chosen area for first feat, 1 wound per area thereafter; Int 13
    • Item
      • Surgeon's Kit
        • +2 to heal any wound, regardless if healer is a surgeon of the wounded area. The bonus stacks with that of the surgeon feat. However, use of this kit by non-surgeons results in a -4 penalty to wound healing checks, and increases damage caused by failure 50% (min. 1 WP). Any successful wound healing check made with the kit grants the patient +2 to WP recovery, and +2 to saves vs scarring.
